I develop methods and software for preservation and management of structural assets of surface transportation networks. Research sponsors include the National Academies, the American Association of State Highway Transportation Officials, the USDOT Federal Highway Administration, and the State of Colorado Department of Transportation. Current work will develop training modules on preservation of highway bridges. I prepare scholarly reviews of state-of-the-practices in structure preservation and management.
